They haven't change that Kobe and Gigi floor and the walls are all decorated in Kobe quotes and thank yous. My friend that lives in the Philippines tells me how inspiring and how great it looks, and how much they mourned for Kobe, Philippines was really strucked when Kobe lost his life with gigi.
Honestly wish this could be like a 30 for 30 or an ESPN special just something more than a 6 minute clip to show us ppl who live in the US and around the world more about such a magical place like this.
Just visited the court today for the first time in my life and it was awe-Inspiring to say the least. Knowing the history within those crumbling walls, seeing the art on the walls and the court itself, and most of all being immersed in the community and culture of the residents, I got chills standing in one of the most iconic streetball courts. It was surreal, I got chills. They LOVE the place. As I was taking pictures of the court, I was serenaded by people singing karaoke just a few floors above. Despite the poor living conditions, people are so happy and proud to call that place home. And people are truly passionate about the beautiful sport. If you ever get the chance to visit this icon, certainly do. Mabuhay 🇵🇭
I spent time in Philippines...during marine corp.....those people are our brothers and sisters in another part of the world....lets be loving brothers and sisters and get their back💝🌷🌹☺
@@kellyraesibayan6223 you obviously a former marine or been informed...the women are very extra affectionate..that's y I have a special place in my heart 4 them
There are no words for the feeling I'm having to see this video at 4 am in the morning..the conditions of their living quarters..for the passion and the love they have..and the heart and hope they have..I don't know...but this is something special...I'm speechless right now...
Growing up in Chicago I have nothing but love and respect for my fellow Filipino brothers and sisters. Most humble and respectful group i met in my life. From what I see they are full of passion and heart. Manny Pacman shows what great ppl they really are. The mural of Kobe Bryant is just a scratch in the surface. They have such a special love for boxing & basketball 💯
I'm Filipino my self and been a fan of Jordan Clarkson since he got drafted by the Lakers its awesome how he's telling his story in the Philippines Respect!🇵🇭
Clarkson has dual citizenship with the Philippines and the United States. His Filipino citizenship is by virtue of ancestral descent. His father Mike Clarkson is African-American, while his mother Annette Davis is of half Filipino descent.
Yeah this made me think just imagine if 2pac lived atleast same as kobe age 41 not 25... imagine what he would have done in these years.. Its sad man none deserve to die that young 25 and 41 god created us to die old but its our lifestyle we humans created and our technology most of people die young now from wars,gangs, planes or car aciddents and from viruses wich are caused from us..
Tenement court is like Rucker Park in New York. It is iconic, it is cultural, it is historic, it is home to many basketball memories in the Philippines.
The game of basketball has an impact unlike any other sport around the world aside from maybe soccer. Since it can be played at any second, it brings people together everywhere.
Soccer for sure right now has the most impact. In Soccer you don't even need a goal, you just need a ball, that's it. And it's played in every corner of the world.
This touched me. I had seen the Kobe & Gianna mural before and it made me want to visit, but had know idea the game basketball meant that much nor how high the stakes for everyone out there. I really want visit that court one day. I hope something happens and that place is saved. Respect.
They haven't change that Kobe and Gigi floor and the walls are all decorated in Kobe quotes and thank yous. My friend that lives in the Philippines tells me how inspiring and how great it looks, and how much they mourned for Kobe, Philippines was really strucked when Kobe lost his life with gigi.
Man Philippines in my opinion is a kobe country when kobe dominated the nba. Those times. Everytime kobe visits manila, basketball fanatics all over the country wants to see him. Whether a kobe/laker fan or not. From kids who plays basketball on the streets to pro's. Everyone is excited ( not being exaggerated coz i witnessed it myself ). With so many superstars in the nba, he's the only one who often visits our country. And that maybe is one of the reasons he captured the hearts of the filipino's. Neither was i a fan of kobe that time.
Go fund me would have this problem solved in a day or less. Let's get these people who currently live there a proper housing unit they can feel safe in.
It's not about money. The government has already offered to give the residents free housing elsewhere but the residents refused to leave because the relocation site is far from this place. This is prime property on an area that is a coveted place for developers. It's within the city center, that's why residents refuse to leave. It's near their jobs, their schools, the market, the malls. If they agree to relocate, this area will immediately be bought by developers and turned into a condominium or a high rise building.
@@couragemanhelmet8894 Filipinos are athletic for their heights. if you compare 5'5 American vs. 5'5 filipino. look at manny and other filipino boxers. it's just really difficult to see filipinos 6'3 or taller.
LeBron and Paul George are remarkable human beings for taking the time to acknowledge and visit their humble court. A true testament of the Kobe Bryant influence around the world Rich or Poor it doesn't matter never give up.
Philippine Government did offer a relocation but they say its far from their work/school etc things will be properly compensated but they refuse.. They need to be moved elsewhere since the tenement if a freaking old building and it sits on top of a fault line.. no modern technology would save any reconstruction of that building once a major quake hits.. Its not about the pride of the tenement anymore they are just being stubborn at this point.. then if anything goes wrong we all would point fingers at the authority as if they never gave warnings..
Amazing! The NBA should commission these artists to paint courts for certain games throughout each season. They could start a foundation to help build new housing for these people too.
Man, I know alot about the Philippines. I could be Dennis Rodman's dad, Philander, if I wanted to be. Just without the 60+ children. I loved Palawan but my Lolo's province of Ilocos Norte is so underrated.
Didn’t know that one of my favorite commentators has Filipino roots. And yes, I agree that the Northern part of the Phils is underrated. My lolo and lola were from there as well.
In the military I stood watch for the navy. The Filipinos i met overseas shared stories their families and culture with me and we all looked similar color wise. I’m a black American let that simmer
Vernon Jordan, II. Filipinos and Black history is connected if everyone is unware. Jose Rizal wrote his 2 novels which ignited Philippine Revolution after reading Uncles Toms Cabin, a novel about African American Enslavery.
As it's been explained, this area is highly coveted by the government for urban development. Any funding would have to go through the government and it wouldn't go to refurbishing the structure.
This was beautiful, as an American (no I'm not proud to be) makes me appreciate being born in a thriving society! My mission in life is to make an impact&help others thru music.
Man, millions of people would be willing to change nationality with you. You have a lot of reason to be proud of your heritage. Stop focusing on the negatives. Almost all countries have done horrifying things...
I was in the Philippines (BGC) when I heard that they made a mural of Kobe and Gianna. I wasn't able to see the mural, but I did see that they lit up the buildings purple and gold. They really do love basketball in the Philippines.
The typical phrase a mother says here in the Philippines when their children complain "Dont complain! be thankful that you even get to eat that while there are filipinos out there who is hungry but doesn't even have something to eat right now". So be thankful for your life right now, there are so many people who wishes to have the same life as you including me.
I have met filipinos in my life and they are the best people you'll come across.always smiling and grateful in spite of their circumstances. Hard working too
This is Amazing love for the game of Basketball, now I know why Kobe visited it 6X already before he passed away, because their love for the sport is just like his love for the game, no excuses play barefoot play no matter what.
That part is underrated. I was 16 and I balled. My uncle from the Phils who's technically semi pro started playing with us in his slides. I'm thinking no way this dude can play. He creamed everyone on the court too while smoking and wearing slides. I did not get it. Lol. I had Nike everything on. I could see his toe nails and ashy feet. I don't underestimate anymore. These kids don't have a lot but they work miracles with what they have. Amazing clip.
@@WhalesWilly i hope everything ends up good for them. NBA scouts need to go out there and sign some ballers. Maybe then the signed players can give to the community and keep it their home
I lived at Tenement before and I'm proud to say that though the unit is small, I enjoyed my childhood there. People are kind, active, jolly, helpful, the place is festive and there are lots of social interactions I experienced there maybe bcoz of lots of neighbors. If I were to choose where's happier place to live, there or here in big subdivision I will still choose Tenement.
As a Jazz fan I was abruptly alerted to how big basketball is in the Philippines, once we picked up JC. They know the game and follow it religiously. Much respect. Much love.
How lucky the people in tenement are, they are able to see in person Jordan Clarkson, Paul George, and LeBron James. This documentary is a masterpiece congrats ESPN.
There's something beautifully poetic about this place. The fact that any day could be The Tenement's last, and therefore their last, is an amazing reminder to live every day like it's your last one. Because it very well could be. And dying while doing what you love... there are worse ways to go out, in my opinion
Great story Jordan Clarkson..I wish the best for the people..Where-ever they decide to relocate the tenants, they can build another new court with a Jordan Clarkson, Kobe/GiGi mural..P.S. Many of us are sorry you left the LAKERS..Have a GREAT career.
As part of the people of Taguig, I really loved Tenement and I hope this will continue and will be the ultimate symbol of the Basketball in the Philippines.
Im getting goosebumps when I watched it. Like other European countries, they like to play soccer that's their passion. And for us Filipino our passion is playing basketball. We respect the game so much.
They haven't change that Kobe and Gigi floor and the walls are all decorated in Kobe quotes and thank yous. My friend that lives in the Philippines tells me how inspiring and how great it looks, and how much they mourned for Kobe, Philippines was really strucked when Kobe lost his life with gigi.
Hector Pac q so awesome they did all that, so sad too
Hector Pac the entire world was struck with their deaths. I cried for days personally
I live in Trinidad and we are sad as well
timaica Lopez half my family is there. Father, sisters n cousins. I love it there
Still can't believe KOBE gone. I think I took him for granted. We always do.
Honestly wish this could be like a 30 for 30 or an ESPN special just something more than a 6 minute clip to show us ppl who live in the US and around the world more about such a magical place like this.

There's something beautifully poetic about this place. The fact that any day could be The Tenement's last, and therefore their last, is an amazing reminder to live every day like it's your last one. Because it very well could be. And dying while doing what you love... there are worse ways to go out, in my opinion
Wow those art 👍🏼
Kobe and Gianna made me cry. 💔 What a beautiful moment that was.
Hope this people get financial support to renovate their homes.
I pray such earthquake never comes, please keep those people safe.
The tenement is on the fault line
Jordan Clarkson we Filipinos are proud of you being first Filipino/American to Play in the NBA 🇺🇸🇵🇭

Great story Jordan Clarkson..I wish the best for the people..Where-ever they decide to
relocate the tenants, they can build another new court with a Jordan Clarkson,
Kobe/GiGi mural..P.S. Many of us are sorry you left the LAKERS..Have a GREAT career.

I've been there..that court was amazing, people there are amazing.. Filipinos are so kind... wish that court be a blacktop court in 2k
As part of the people of Taguig, I really loved Tenement and I hope this will continue and will be the ultimate symbol of the Basketball in the Philippines.
Thank you Jordan Clarkson, for representing us Filipinos in the world stage of basketball.
Beautiful and dangerous at the same time, much love to the Philippine people living in there.
Im getting goosebumps when I watched it.
Like other European countries, they like to play soccer that's their passion.
And for us Filipino our passion is playing basketball. We respect the game so much.
We love you Jordan Clarkson.. Proud Filipino
